The dragon known as Glaurung was found dead upon the banks of the River Teiglin by the gorge of Cabed-en-Aras. A massive wound to the creature’s stomach indicates the mortal blow was caused by a sword. Investigators are at the scene, searching for evidence of the dragonslayer.

Preliminary reports indicate that a Man known as Turambar set out from Brethil with two companions on a quest to slay the dragon yesterday evening. One of his companions, Dorlas, was spotted returning to Amon Obel some time before the dragon was sighted. It is not known if if Turambar and the other Man continued onward, but the dragon’s carcass is proof that their goal was achieved in some manner.

The name of Turambar’s second companion is Hunthor, according to sources in Brethil. The current location of Brethil’s lord, Brandir, is unknown, as is the location of Dorlas himself. Turambar and Hunthor are likewise unaccounted for.

More information has come to light regarding the death of the dragon Glaurung. The situation has evolved into a mass casualty event.

The bodies of Turambar, Dorlas, Hunthor, and Lord Brandir have been discovered at or near the banks of Teiglin. Hunthor’s cause of death appears to be blunt-force trauma to the head. The rest were slain by blows from one or more swords. Investigators have not ruled out murder-suicide. The slayer of the dragon remains unclear.

This morning

New details have been released in the case of the Teiglin mass casualty event.

The cause of death of Hunthor, one of Turambar’s companions, has been officially declared as “blunt-force trauma to the head by a falling rock.” No foul play is suspected.

The same cannot be said for the rest of the deceased...

The people of Haleth are used to the dangers of Brethil. When Turambar stumbles upon a plant called love's fever, Brandir must prove to him that it's a poison with a pleasant cure.

okay saeros had a stupid death but a big F for hunthor man 

Honestly yeah, lamest death right here.  At least Saeros's was funny.  RIP Hunthor.

RIP Hunthor

it's like tolkien couldn't think of another way to kill him or something

"I mean Turin could accidentally stab him but we've already done that so many times.  We've only had one guy die by getting hit in the head with a rock so far, though, I guess we could do that one again.....?"

 look what you made túrin do 

XD yay!In a car chase with:

Now, are they chasing me, am I chasing them, or am I in the car with them? The latter is most likely, so:

1. Probably Beleg? He’s pretty level-headed and I feel like he’s got the whole Elvish stealth/intuition thing going on, plus if we get caught he’s a good fighter.

2. Hunthor. Also pretty solid and level-headed, probably handy with a sword if we get caught (or… do the catching?), plus I like him a lot.

3. Haleth. I feel like her evasive driving is… unnecessarily aggressive. If she doesn’t launch us into fiery, smashed oblivion we’ll definitely get away, though.

4. I feel like Brandir would be too worried about hurting civilians to… well, to get car chasey. And I would be no help, because A.) I can barely drive, B.) driving scares the hell out of me under the best of circumstances, and C.) I’d be too busy staring at him and nodding intensely in response to everything he said to, like, notice we were in a car chase. (Not that ‘reluctance to cause collateral damage’ is a BAD trait, for the record. And I would very much enjoy escaping from corrupt police custody with him.)
